IN VITRO ANTI-ARTHRITIC ACTIVITY OF ELAEOCARPUS SERRATUS LINN. (ELAEOCARPACEAE)
AbstractIn the present study the anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extracts of leaf and seed of Elaeocarpus serratus L. was evaluated in vitro using two models namely on the inhibition of protein denaturation and anti-proteinase activities. Indomethacin was used as a standard drug. Results revealed that the ethanolic leaf and seed extracts of E. serratus at two different concentrations (200 and 400 µg/ml) possessed notable activity as compared to the standard drug indomethacin, justifying its usefulness in the treatment of inflammation associated diseases like arthritis
